The Summer Solstice Painting Challenge
It is time for the next painting challenge with the second annual “Paint the Crap You Already Own!” painting challenge just ended. So I thought I’d announce a May-June challenge before I get started with the “Paint the Crap You Already Own!” round-up. For this challenge, I’m looking for pictures of whatever single model you think…

“Neglected But Not Forgotten” Painting Challenge Round-up (March 2021)
The challenge for March was for people to dig into their pile of models and paint something they had owned for at least a year. I think most miniature painters, who have been at it awhile, have no general shortage of such models. the collector’s bug tends to hit model builders pretty strongly, no matter…

Frank’s Pig Demon’s Loincloth (WIP)
I put a little more color on Frank’s Pig Demon today after having left our fiend to its own devices since early October. This time I focused on the loincloth. My plan is to finish this miniature (and finally give it back to Frank) before the end of January for the community painting challenge I…

It has been awhile since I’ve done a painting challenge and thought it might be fun to do a challenge where you share a picture of the first miniature you completely finish for 2021. We aren’t interested in completing squads, mobs or other collections this time. The focus is to start 2021 off right by…

Miniatures of Magnitude Painting Challenge Round-up
May through June saw the Miniatures of Magnitude painting challenge where the idea is to paint something that is on the larger side. The model didn’t need to be large, but it had to represent something large. As I wrote back in early May, “Aircraft, daemon engines, tanks, giants, trains, cavewomen riding mammoths, ships, and…

Sixty Day Miniatures of Magnitude Painting Challenge! (May-June 2020)
Time for another painting challenge! This time the idea is to paint at least one model that represents a creature, machine or terrain piece that is on the larger side. Aircraft, daemon engines, tanks, giants, trains, cavewomen riding mammoths, ships, and beasts that are great, writhing masses of tentacles, eyes, and maws that tumbled down…

Steel Legion & Officio Assassinorum vs. Orks
The orks have seen a lot of battles versus the Imperial Guard, especially lately, though this is the first time we’ve lined up against this particular officer. We played 1500 points and decided upon the “Big Guns Never Tire” scenario from the Eternal War series. The goal here was to hold objectives at the end of…
